So the inside of the drum is clean when you finish?
It rained last night and a small amount of water was on the 000. So I turned the mixer on and observed that the action was the same, very little rolling or turnover except along the edges. So i decided to add the 00 i cast. Now the whole mass is turning over rolling on each other etc. The alloy is a failed mixture of RL, LINO & pure that is too soft for bullets but contains too much tin to drip into shot. So we will see what effect rolling has in a while.
BAGTIC, thanks that answers my query.i have sense tried it and yes it works.

For buckshot I just cut off the sprue with a pair of dyke pliers ground so the cutting edge is flat. I roll the shot between two stainless plates until they are round. Then I powder coat the shot.

Good idea. I got some similar when I bought buckshot molds from SkiesUnlimited, but they are much smaller and require some force to use.
One of the tools left over from my working days is a 6" disc-1" belt sander. You've probably seen them in the Harbor Freight adds. If you go slow and easy the 1" belt does a pretty fair job of removing the sprue. Gp
Grmps - Do you know if they make that mold in "0" buck?
